Mark 6:1-13

“Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits.” v. 6-7

Jesus not only spent time with his disciples, he also sent them out to do ministry.  My NLT Study Bible had this to say in the study notes,

The disciples were sent out in pairs.  Individually they could have reached more areas of the country, but this was not Christ’s plan.  The advantages in going out twos include:

1. They could strengthen and encourage each other.
2. They could provide comfort in rejection.
3. They could stir each other to action as a counter to idleness or indifference.

Our strength comes from God, but he meets many of our needs through our teamwork with  others.  As you serve Christ, don’t try to do it alone.
